How to troubleshoot a gas oven that won't heat up
Component	Common Symptoms	Root Causes	Troubleshooting Steps	Difficulty / Safety
Bake Igniter	Oven clicks but no flame; glows but doesn't ignite the gas; takes over 5 minutes to heat.	Weakened silicon carbide element Lack of electrical continuity	Observe the igniter while turning on the oven. If it glows dull orange but doesn't light gas, it's too weak to open the safety valve. Use a multimeter to test for continuity (should be 0-1100 ohms).	Medium
Gas Safety Valve	Igniter glows bright white/hot, but there is no gas smell and no flame.	Failed bi-metal arm inside the valve Burnt out terminals	Ensure the gas supply to the house and stove is turned on. Check the igniter first. If the igniter draws 3.2 to 3.6 amps but the valve doesn't open, the valve is faulty. Test valve terminals with a multimeter for continuity.	High (Gas Risk)
Spark Electrode	Continuous clicking sound but no ignition; visible spark is missing or jumping to the wrong ground.	Cracked porcelain insulator Grease/food debris blocking the spark Faulty spark module	Visually inspect the white porcelain for hairline cracks. Clean the electrode tip gently with a soft brush and rubbing alcohol. Check the wiring connection back to the spark module.	Medium
Temperature Sensor	Oven heats up but stops prematurely; burns food; displays error codes (e.g., F3 or F4).	Sensor resistance has drifted out of calibration Melted or pinched sensor wire harness	Locate the sensor at the top rear inside the oven cavity. Disconnect and test with a multimeter at room temperature (approx 1080 ohms). Inspect wires for physical heat damage.	Medium
Electronic Control Board	Blank display; unresponsive buttons; oven does absolutely nothing when "Bake" is pressed.	Power surge frying the board Burnt out bake relay Loose ribbon cable	Verify the outlet has 120V power. Unplug the oven, access the back panel, and look for visible burn marks on the circuit board. Test voltage output from the board to the bake circuit (advanced).	High (Shock Risk)
